Newly released video shows a Florida man leading police on a frantic car chase before the stolen van he was driving flipped.

Not on the dashcam video is footage of six officers opening fire on the wrecked vehicle after Luke Castello, who was behind the wheel, showed a gun.

Port Orange police officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the violent 2013 chase, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The ordeal began with Castello carjacking a minivan from the parking lot of a seedy motel.

Dennis Johnson and Brittany Brooks said they were robbed at gunpoint and forced to tie themselves up.

Both managed to escape, but Castello took off in the woman’s Dodge Caravan, police said, armed with three weapons.

Cops spotted the van a short time later and gave chase, winding in and out of traffic, through a Walmart parking lot and onto Interstate 95 at speeds surpassing 80 mph.

In the matter of just a few clever passes and one extremely bad whiff, the Pro12's Munster helped secure its spot in the upcoming league finals and produced a 78-meter return that rivals anything you’ll see in the NFL this year, taking a clearing kick from Ospreys’ Justin Tipuric to the house from their own 22-meter line.

While Simon Zebo will go down as the one who pulled a pair of Ospreys across the line, the real hero here is No. 9, Conor Murray, whose quick-handed pitch around Munster’s 10 broke the return into a full-on sprint down the sideline. After that, it was a 3-on-2 situation in Munster’s favor; one Ospreys defender went for it all and missed hard, leaving a just-wide-enough lane for Zebo to speed through and put Munster up 13-3.

Munster would hold its line for the remainder of Saturday’s semifinal against Ospreys, claiming a 23-3 victory and earning a date in next Saturday’s final with Scarlets, which became the first Pro12 team to score a road win the semi-finals when it upset Leinster on Friday.
